More Quotables from "Wild Words from Wild Women"

I got caught up on my daily calendar this week. Which always results in a plethora of quotes I feel obligated to share or at least document for my own future reference.

"My mother always said that a rose is the perfect symbol of romance. It dies after a few days, its pretty petals fall off, and all you're left with is the ugly prickly thing." - Maureen Murphy

"It is better to light just one candle than to clean the whole apartment." - Eileen Courtney

(Amen, sister. I definitely felt like this as I cleaned the kitchen today. It is the world's most futile task. As soon as I finish, it's time to eat again and all my work was for nothing.)

"Sex is more fun than cars, but cars refuel quicker than men." - Germaine Greer

"I have always wanted to be a man, if only for the reason that I would like to have gauged the value of my intellect." - Margot Asquith

"Any God I ever felt in church I brought in with me." - Alice Walker

"You should always believe all you read in newspapers, as this makes them more interesting." - Rose Macaulay

(This made me think of Citizen B and her fabulous blog.)

"I don't buy temporary insanity as a murder defence. Breaking into someone's home and ironing all their clothes is temporary insanity." - Sue Kolinsky

"I feel not need for any other faith than my faith in human beings." - Pearl S. Buck

"Being a child is horrible. It is slightly better than being a tree or a piece of heavy machinery but not half as good as being a domestic cat." - Julie Burchill

(Personally, I think it's being a teenager that is horrible. I would have happily fast-forwarded through high school.)

"If men liked shopping, they'd call it research." - Cynthia Neims
